Bring on the turkey!

Dear Aunt Allison and Uncle Mike...I can't wait to see you and eat my first Thanksgiving Turkey!

Autumn Joy

First Haircut

Okay, okay...we heard ya. After all the rolled eyes over Nicholas's hippy-do, we relented and went to "Pigtails and Crewcuts" - a place designed with kids in mind! No tears were spilled as Nicholas enjoyed playing Fire Chief and getting his silky locks cut off. No tears were spilled by mommy either, which was a bit more surprising! =) Now in a few months from now when people say "he needs a haircut..." we'll say, "He's already HAD one!"

Oops - Nov. 8th comparison

I forgot the Nov. 8th photo post - continuing the tradition of taking a photo on the same day of each month for the first year. Check out Feb and March http://themontes.blogspot.com/2008/03/another-month-goes-by.html to compare with Nov.'s shot...what a difference. I can't believe I only have two more shots to take before Nicholas hits the 1 year mark. Did the year go by as fast for everyone else????

Mommy's Day Out

I met up with Kristel for lunch and shopping in Williamsburg. Although most of the trees have passed their autumn peak, we lucked out with a gorgeous day. It was a wonderful break...

When you smile, put your face into it!

Halloween Dragon

In theory, the dragon costume was a good idea. Simple, easy to put on, comfortable and warm. The downfall? The dragon head was too heavy to stay up on its own. Oh well, we thought our little dragon was pretty cute anyway.
